Timing Of Applying Glazes
After glazing the inside of a piece, should you let the piece dry, say overnight, then begin glazing the outside?
Also, when applying layered glazes, should you wait another day for drying after each layer has been applied?
I have always glazed the inside then when the sheen has gone start glazing the outside. Also, with layering, I apply the first glaze, wait for the sheen to disappear then add the next glaze. I don't know if this is correct or if there is a better more consistent way.
It all depends on how thick your work is. If your piece is thin, then you may need to wait overnight to apply the other glaze because the pot will be saturated from glazing the inside.
When double dipping, the first glaze should not be totally dry or it's likely to come off the pot when you do the second dip. Dry to the touch is usually sufficient, although some glazes need to be drier than others. You just need to get to know your glazes well and figure out what works best.
